We present a detailed study of the central exclusive production of the Standard Model Higgs Boson in the WW decay channel at the LHC. We include estimates of the experimental acceptance of the proposed proton tagging detectors at 220m and 420m around either ATLAS or CMS, and the level 1 trigger acceptances. We find that there will be a detectable signal for Higgs masses between 140 GeV and 200 GeV, and that the backgrounds should be controllable.

Prezentujeme detailni studii centralni exklusivni produkce Higgsova bosonu ve Standardnim modelu v WW rozpadovem kanalu na LHC. Zahrnujeme odhady akceptanci navrzenych doprednych detektoru protonu na 220 a 420 m na strane ATLAS, nebo CMS a take akceptance Trggeru 1.urovne. Shledavame detekovatelny signal v rozmezi hmot 140 a 200 GeV s prijatelne nizkym pozadim.
